Hi John,
First my background: I am a retired IT Engineer who worked for a very large
company that you have heard of and I have years of programming and server
administration experience on Unix, Linux and Windows.
I now work on things that make my life better and with that in mind, I
solve problems related to that. A home security system is important to me
and I give it a lot of daily attention. I have used Blue Iris 4 & 5
extensively and wrote a lot of BI Json tools to automate and extract data
to assist with AI implementation. I have tried and used a lot of Object
Detection "engines" (rekognition, ImageAI, Darknet - Yolov3 and Yolov4,
Opencv and DeepStack) with the purpose of providing me with videos that
only contain "persons or cars" on two of the seven cameras that I have
running.
I switched from BI to motion because of primarily two issues, CPU usage and
movie generation. I run everything on a Inspiron 7559 laptop quad core
machine with 2 SSD drives. Basically I wanted to emulate everything I liked
about BI with the latest version of Motion running in a WSL environment.
The Tools:
- WSL 1 (Ubuntu)
- Motion 4.3.1 providing video and audio (I use CURL with on_event_start
and on_event_end to create a MP3)
- Motion 4.3.1 Web Interface. This works very well for me when configured
properly.
- Python3 for archiving and storage of videos and audio files with a folder
quota.
- Python3 for cleanup of videos and images.
- Python3 for automated Email, SMS notifications and AI processing of
images generated by Motion. The notifications contain a link to the google
drive folder that contains the AI chosen videos. I had written this for use
with BI a while ago...
- Google Drive Sync and Backup to automatically upload videos identified as
having persons or cars in certain locations. I was using this with BI too.
- Windows 10 Explorer as a "clips" viewer. With its ability to show "large
icons" and auto-refresh of a folder it makes a very good clips viewer
interface.
- VLC for playback of videos.
With best regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,
Thanks for sharing. Is there any of this up on github or other types of
sharing sites? I, for one, would like to see the python script for AI
processing. I've been looking to bring this into my setup for some time.
Any help would be appreciated.
